Step 1 Civil-military technology cooperation pitch day
→
Step 2 Improving civilian tech–military demand matching efficiency

Problem

The Defense Acquisition Program Administration hosts civil-military tech cooperation pitch days 2–3 times a year, but participating Startups struggle to identify matching military demand projects in advance. The Agency for Defense Development's demand list is published only as PDFs with no search or filtering, so Startup founders spend 10–15 hours per week assessing match potential.

Solution

Converts military demand projects from defense agencies into a structured DB + auto-calculates matching scores based on Startup technology keywords + provides pitch day schedule alerts and an application pre-drafting assistant.

Target: CEOs/business development leads at seed-to-Series A Startups with defense/dual-use technology, ages 30–40
Revenue Model: Basic matching search Free (5/mo) + Premium Plan unlimited search at $37/mo + application AI review at $23 Per Transaction
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
